10-minute Easy Scallion Oil Noodles
Description
"10-minute Easy Scallion Oil Noodles" features fresh or dried wheat noodles cooked until just al dente, then cooled to stop cooking. Meanwhile, scallions cut into fine strips and minced garlic are fried in vegetable oil until soft and aromatic. The noodles are added back to the pan with water and mixed well to combine with the scallion oil. A sauce made of regular soy sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and chicken bouillon powder is poured over, coating the noodles. Stirring continues until some sauce evaporates and the noodles are evenly flavored.
The resulting dish combines a pleasing chewy texture of noodles with a savory, sweet, and slightly umami-rich sauce. The fried scallions and garlic add mild pungency and aroma, enhancing the noodles without overpowering them. The sauce's slight thickness helps it cling well to each strand.
This noodle dish is well suited for a fast lunch or casual dinner and can be served alone or with simple stir-fried vegetables or proteins on the side.
